Six definitely out vs ECU, maybe more

From Heather Dinich’s blog on the world leader in sports I found the injury report for North Carolina (along with the rest of the ACC) for the upcoming weekend. I have a feeling that when any Tar Heel sees it they won’t be happy! I know I am not, because it’s long, really long and we all know that is not the way that UNC is going to win during this season. So, without further interruptions, here is the list from ESPN’s ACC Blog…

Out (Season)

Carl Gaskins OL Knee
Matt Merletti S Knee

Out (Game)

Lowell Dyer C Shoulder
Dwight Jones WR Knee
Zack Pianalto TE Foot
Ryan Taylor TE Knee

Doubtful

Linwan Euwell LB Ankle
LeCount Fantroy CB Thigh

Questionable

Jonathan Cooper OG Ankle
Devon Ramsay RB Thigh

As I said before, the list is long, to be honest, way too long for me. If you figure that the doubtful won’t play it means that the Heels will be without eight players that could be useful in the game (and season). Six are definitely not going to play, and if it goes bad the whole way, ten might not. This is not something to sneeze and I have to say it’s becoming a constant worry for me (as a blogger), imagine how the coaching staff has to be taking it. In the end all I can say is this: if this was a season ago I doubt that Carolina could get past it, but a year later, with that much more experienced, they might just be able to still get a W against East Carolina. We will know this when the two teams meet up this weekend at Kenan Stadium!
